    Breaking in a new pipe that has stain inside the bowl

    I noticed somebody said something about using a Dremel. Unless you are proficient with a Dremel I would not use one. Just take a paper towel with some high proof alcohol and carefully wipe the inside of the bowl out. Be very careful not to get any alcohol on the outside of the bowl, as it...

    Any PS4 Owners Here?

    I have one also. I don't get to play much because it is either play or smoke a pipe. I enjoy the Call of Duty line of games and the Assassin's Creed games. I have played all the Call of Duty's, this last one is a bit different, i like it. I have not played the new Assassin's Creed yet...

    Stanwell Golden Danish - a new appreciation

    I've got a Stanwell Golden Danish Lovat, and love it. I only smoke Prairie Wind in this pipe. I've I'm not careful I will chase the wonder flavor and the pipe will get hot. It's a great clencher.

    VaPers Help

    My first VaPer that got me to switch almost exclusively to VaPers was 4Noggins Prairie Wind. That was about two and a half years ago, I still smoke it regularly.

    Portable Pipe?

    I've been thinking about trying to bring back the "fanny pack". Although, I don't think my wife will let me out of the house. They got a bad wrap. (Fanny Packs not wives) Maybe if Peterson or Dunhill came out with a pipe/tobacco pouch with a belt I could justify it.

    From Turkey - Direct

    That is an impressive collection. Those four look great. I may need to pick one up. Maybe I can talk the boss into it after PCS'ing.

    Chicago Show Haul Part III: Icarus Sitter

    Pretty sweet. Hopefully this brand will take off and that pipe becomes "priceless." It may take a generation or two, but you never know.

    Tolkien Fans, Enthusiasts, Geeks, and the Antithesis

    I enjoy Tolkien's books, The Wheel of Time books, but I recommend The Sword of Truth series.

    Origins of User Names?

    Bill is the name I gave to the Iraqi's and Afghan's. Bearcat is a play on my last name and what the guys call me at work. So I use Bill Bearcat often in place of my real name. I guess you could call it my stage name. Plus, bearcats naturally smell like popcorn. I don't really care for popcorn...

    Mark Tinsky = Excellent Customer Service!!!

    Tinsky pipes are my favorite. He always ships them out the next shipping day, along with a quick email. I have my fourth pipe, in about a year, from him in the mail currently. Best pipes I have smoked. I hate to recommend his pipes, because I want to buy them all, but I definitely do recommend...

    Rattray's Marlin Flake

    Jah, I got prairie wind as a sample from 4noggins just under two years ago. That was my first VaPer and has been on my table ever since. Prior to that I only smoked areo's. Thanks to that sample I realized that for a great tobacco you don't need a sweet over the top topping. Right now my top...

    Too much thinking and mucking about?

    I pack the pipe until it is full and the draw is right. Sometimes two pinches of tobacco sometimes 5. Not too much thought any more.

    Rattray's Marlin Flake

    So here I am smoking Marlin Flake for the first time. I just opened the tin today. The only cellar time it has on it is however long 4noggins had it on the self. I have been smoking VA's and VaPers almost exclusively for a little less than two years now. I have enjoyed most, but I see this one...
